Salt Water Fish Lyrics by Ruby (Band)

Salt Peter

1995

[Verse 1]
All I can see is what I've fried
And all the world in your black eye
[Chorus]
I'll run in circles all the time
I'll gather up all that is mine
Into the room inside my head
The walls are black, the roof is red
[Verse 2]
And fiery like a volcano
I wear it like a massive halo
This pretty speckled length of twine
That's wrapped around your neck is mine
A ruby rose, stiffed and froze is what I give to you
[Chorus]
I'll run in circles all the time
I'll gather up all that is mine
Into the room inside my head
The walls are black, the roof is red
[Bridge]
If I could taste your salty head
And pick the dead hair from my eyes
Let you smell the sweet despise
Those peaks and throughs, guts for a valley
Are a dead scene in my back alley
How tall and wide you have to get
How big and dark and badly lit
And if I said I did, would you believe me
And I showed you gold, would you see through me
And if tomorrow didn't come
Would you?
[Chorus]
I'll run in circles all the time
I'll gather up all that is mine
Into the room inside my head
The walls are black, the roof is red
[Chorus]
I'll run in circles all the time
I'll gather up all that is mine
Into the room inside my head
The walls are black, the roof is red
[Chorus]
I'll run in circles all the time
I'll gather up all that is mine
Into the room inside my head...
